N64 controller configuration

Dr Nick

I can see this keeps coming up, but I can't find a consistent reply (maybe there isn't one).
Got a USB N64 controller, and struggling to fully map the buttons. Worked out that B=A, and a couple of other things, but tried playing Zelda and Banjo Kazooie, and the top and bottom "c" buttons don't work, so the games are unplayable beyond a certain point.

Is there a true mapping config out there?

Raspberry pi 4, Retropie 4.6

What emulator are you using ? The details of the configuration for each emulator are in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/.

Honestly? Whatever launches automatically with Retropie 4.6. Don't know how to change it.

Had to add a 200millisec audio lag to get it to work, but now running pretty well.

Things like F-Zero X are running fine, Star Fox 64 is OK but can't do a back flip (c down).

it's announced when you launch a game: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/

OK it says ir-mupen64plus-next

But looking at the link posted above, the setup stated for that emulator doesn't work. I found something on a forum that's close (so B mapped to A, and a couple of other changes), but it's still not right - it's pretty much the mapping posted for mupen64plus, but the up & down C buttons don't work at all with this configuration.

This probably isn't the most efficient way, but I just edited /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini to manually change how my controls work.

Dr Nick

@helloThere Wow. That's way beyond me!

Dr Nick

@dankcushions So would you advise changing the emulator?
Having said that, I've pressed buttons when the image appears, and it just carries on and loads the game!

This will help. If you still have questions, come back. I'll keep an eye on the thread.
